Hair loss after pregnancy

[Loiis12345]

Hi has anyone else gone through this my baby is nearly 5 months old and since she turned 3.5 months old I have been losing at least 400 strands of hair per day I’m so scared of washing & brushing my hair because that much falls out my hair has also thinned out so so much before I got pregnant I had really thick long hair past my waist but since having my daughter it’s just got so bad I went to the doctors go blood drawn checked for thyroid and my iron levels everything come back normal so I’m just putting it down to postpartum hair loss? When does this end ? At this rate I’ll have no hair left on my head it’s so depressing I’m also using biotin shampoo & conditioner and I take prenatal vitamins

It’s totally normal as almost everyone has said. I found it worse after I had boys and there is a link between excessive hair loss and having a boy thanks to testosterone.

I’ve had two boys in under 2 years so I now have a receding hairline at the temples. Looks magnificent...

@spottygymbag yep I’m the same with my hover lol and my poor plug hole 🕳 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Let’s hope it stops soon my hair has never ever been this thin it’s awful I wish people would talk more about this situation as I never knew this was a thing! 😳

I’ve had my thyroid checked iron levels ect and all came back normal so my G.p said it is more than likely postpartum hair loss in suffering with as I’ve never had this before only since I’ve had my daughter and she’s my only child other than that I’ve always had long think hair anyway .
